We're using Liason to create bridges between sites based on Appletalk. Telebit Trailblazer plus modems connect the sites and allow the two networks to appear as one. Both sites have Inbox message centers. The new version of Inbox includes a router, which can store/forward mail between message centers, but it cannot create the network connection. In other words, Inbox has no knowledge of modems, etc. It is configured to probe the network for other message centers periodically to try to find other message centers, and if found, initiate a dialog / mail exchange with them. If a user creates a bridge via Liason, then the message centers can converse. But, this requires someone to periodically make the Liason connection. The question is: Is there a piece of software for the Mac that can periodically perform a series of mouse clicks and keystrokes to cause the Liason connection to occur at fixed points in time (i.e. every half hour)? I've heard of something called 'Tempo' which might be able to do this, but I don't know who makes it, or if it will work. Anyone with knowledge of a workable solution?
